Chapter 14
Alaria:
I looked at my son for a second, my heart aching as I knew that things were going to grow a lot more intense as time goes.
The man was not going to let go of the idea of claiming Ashton as his own, and if I don’t submit, they are going to force me to, and the last thing I wanted was to put my son in such a situation. I didn’t want him to feel like he was going to be forced to go somewhere that he didn’t want to go, and I also didn’t want him being scared. of losing his mother. It was something that I was completely against.
“Mama,” Ashton called, his small voice breaking my train of thoughts as I turned to look at him. I smiled at my boy and extended a hand to him, calling him to me.
“Yes, baby.” I said, my voice softening. The cuts and bruises that were on my chin were healing, and because I knew that he would be asking questions, I chose to cover them with makeup.
“Were you crying, mama?” He asked, breaking my heart and soul. The idea of him seeing me as broken as he did was not one that I liked. I didn’t want him to see me as weak, especially when I knew that I was the one family member that he knew he had. Ezio was proving to me that despite being in his life, at least, in early stages. and coming to visit every once and a while, that he was more than willing to let him go to the devil if he had to. And that was something that I promised myself to not forgive him for.
“Mama was having a headache, that’s all, sweetheart.” I said, my eyes softening as I ran my finger over his cheek before he wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly. I didn’t know what I did to deserve such a caring son like him; but I knew that I was more than a little grateful for him. Yes, I did
struggle when I first gave birth and even during my pregnancy, but every day was a miracle, and I often find myself thankful for him being by my side.
“When are we going to go home, mama?” He asked, and that was when I was forced to look away from him to avoid his eyes. I didn’t know how I was going to explain to him that our old life of peace, the two of us, and just the quietness that we enjoyed was not going to be the same anymore. I wished that it would, but I wasn’t dumb. If I were to move in with Katherine, then I knew that there was more. to come than just live together as a ‘normal‘ pack would.

“Our life is going to change a bit, Ashton.” I said, and he frowned in confusion. I didn’t like doing this, nor did I want to. But I felt weak. I had no other option and I knew that it was not going to change. He was going to have to hear it from me first, and I knew that I had to make it as calm as peaceful as I could. This is what it is to be a mother. To secure your child’s safety, both physically and mentally. “We are going to be staying here now. This is going to be our new home.”
“The hotel?” He asked, and I laughed, shaking my head. “We aren’t going to have our own garden?”
“We will have a bigger one. And you are going to have more friends, but it is time for us t
to go to where we belong.” I said, and he frowned, trying to understand what I was saying. “You know what mama is, and sometimes, she needs to run. This was something that I couldn’t do when we were back at home, especially since I was alone, and I didn’t have a pack.”
“You want to have a pack?” He asked, and I smiled.
“You know that every wolf ha to have one. We are going to end up being weak if we don’t, and we need to be strong to do so.” I said, and he thought for a second. before raising his hand.
“I’ll be your pack!” I laughed and cupped his cheeks before kissing his forehead. “We can make a very big pack, one where we don’t have to stay inside. We are going to play all day and all night. Then when it is time to turn, you can run every day. No one will say no!”
“That sounds like a beautiful idea. But now, mama is going to need a bigger pack. Until you are big and strong, mama has to keep you safe. And you know that mama can’t do that by herself. She needs help.” I said, and he pouted. “You know that big man who was here yesterday? Mama’s friend?”
“Yes?” He said, nodding in response. I smiled and took his hand in mine, gently kissing his knuckle.
“We are going to stay in his pack. He has invited mama and you there, and I think that it would be the best option to keep us safe.” I said, and he nodded, gulping ast he came to a certain realization.
“Mama, his boy pushed me. I was hurt and I cried.” He said, and I smiled, wrapping my arms around his waist before pulling him to sit on my lap. His eyes met mine. and I took a deep breath.

“And that is why mama is always going to be by your side. You are going to be strong and you are going to learn how to defend yourself.” I said, looking at the countertop for a second. “And I promise
you that no one is going to be able to hurt you. I won’t allow it.”
He debated for a second before the doorbell rang. Enzo’s scent filled my nostrils, and I took a deep breath before walking to the door, opening it without bothering to think twice. And it wasn’t until I saw the knife that I frowned and realized that the man standing in front of me wasn’t my ex husband. It was my first ex lover.
“Ryan…?”
“You are back, Alaria D’Angelo…”
